ECW Hardcore TV #33 23/11/1993


Kevin Sullivan vs Keith Scherer
Basically a violent mugging from Sullivan. He attacks the hapless Scherer before the bell, battering him with weapons outside the ring, then corner-charging him three times and hitting a double stomp for victory.

Tony Stetson & Johnny Hotbody vs JT Smith & the Sandman
Smith is still recovering from his injured knee that was exacerbated by Terry Funk, so Sandman is reluctant to tag him in. The heel team of Stetson and Hotbody are really solid here, tagging and double-teaming quickly as they work over the Sandman. Sandman gets the odd poor looking roll up, but the heels start to focus on his leg. JT manages to tag himself in, still limping, and I loved Hotbody locking on a spinning toehold to ape Smith’s former mentor. Sandman finds himself forced to tag back in, and the end sees a second attempt at a cane shot by Hunter Q Robbins (the first was no sold, probably by accident) give Hotbody and Stetson the win.

Mr Hughes vs Kyle Scherer
Apparently this is the twin brother of Keith from earlier in the show, but the cynic in me thinks this is just jobber recycling. Scherer has some exaggerated selling, throwing air punches after taking a big blow. Hughes dominates and pins with a sidewalk slam.

Tommy Cairo vs Chris Michaels
Worked as a face vs face match. We get the good and very bad of Tommy Cairo in this match, as he hits a nice running elbow in the corner on Michaels, but then a lot of sloppy moves – awkward missed clothesline, poor running dropkick. The less said about his Thesz Press, the better. Michaels looks far better in control, his execution is really crisp in comparison. However, two back suplexes give Cairo the win. Nothing bout.
